Hi Coach Alois & Jeff

Why do players like Mizutani, ZJK, Ma long,etc....  end with lifted elbow after serving?

Thank you very much and keep up your great work!!!!

Hi Michael,

This just adds to the deception of the serve.  By plighting the elbow it gives the illusion of topspin even if the bat is moving downwards or sideways.
